Little Edith's Ministration.

A touching little incident is told
of 8 ycung mother who was hope
iessly i'll but quite unconscious of
her condition One afternoon her
physicians held consultation and af-
terward announced the sad fact that
she had but short time to live to
the husband and the sister Of the
patient. The four exchanged opin-
ions as TO the wisdom oil telling her,
and were quite unmindful of little
Edith, the only child OF the dying
woman, five years old, who was
busjly playing with her dolls APP
parently unconscious of what was
going on about her But in u few
minutes the little Edith left her toys,
walked slowly upstairs and went
directly to her mothers room. With
the aid Of q chair she placed herself
on the bed at her mothers side, when
she kissed the wan cheek and asked
in tender tones: Mamma, are YOU
'fraid to die p The mother was
startled by the question and hesita-
tingly asked "Who told you?-do
they thlnk'-"No matter, dear man.
ma, YOU needn't be 'traid at all hold
my hand tight like this; shut you
eyes close and will stay by you,
and when you wake up again you
will he tbere where It's all light"
The eyes were closed as directed the
Swo hands were tightly closed for a
few minutes, and when the members
of the family reentered the room
the child looked up land said: IL
helped dear mamma to die and she
was not 'fraid at ALL"
